Fluffy Coconut Flour Pancakes

But for those of us who don’t eat grains or are restricting our carbohydrates the smell of pancakes can feel a bit isolating. I’ve tried probably a half dozen coconut flour pancake recipes over the past year and have the same complaint with all of them – they are thin and eggy.

I am making a variation of these pancakes this morning. I will let you know what I think!

Field Report - Bean Counterculture - At Rancho Gordo, Long-Lost Legumes Get a New Life - NYTimes.com

The chef-driven crazes for, say, heritage pork bellies, mule-ground grits and backyard purslane have elevated humble ingredients to cult status. But it took Thomas Keller to glamorize beans. At the Yountville, Calif., farmers’ market several years ago, he was one of the few shoppers at the Rancho Gordo bean stand; today at Per Se in Manhattan, there’s a box marked “Rancho Gordo Beans,” stocked with some of the 25 heirloom varieties now sold by the Napa company.

Slow Carb Zucchini-Chickpea "Latkes" - Just in time for Hanukkah!

WHAT IS IT: I love potato latkes more than any other Jewish food. It reminds me of spirited family gatherings, and my grandfather's special ingredient (a.k.a. his knuckle shavings). In the spirit of Hanukkah, I decided to create "I can't believe it's not Latkes" with zucchini and chickpea flour. They are delicious, nutritious, and incredibly easy to make. They also fit into Tim Ferriss' new Slow Carb diet plan.

Four Hour Body Slow Carb Pantry Makeover

This list will get you started on what to buy at the store and what to give away in your pantry. Do what Tim Ferriss, author of The Four Hour Body, would do. Slow carb doesn't mean no carb. Stock up on beans and toss the boxes of cereal...and the can of Crisco.

 

Why the Twinkie diet = a Starvation Diet

For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day. A man of Haub's pre-dieting size usually consumes about 2,600 calories daily. So he followed a basic principle of weight loss: he consumed significantly fewer calories than he burned.

Mark Haub may have shed 27 pounds, but I cannot imagine that this was a pleasant way to lose weight. The slow carb diet encourages you to be full while you lose weight rather than a "starvation diet" which is essentially what the "convenience store diet" advocates for. via Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds - CNN.com
